Born/people

Famous quotes containing the words born and/or people:

“Nothing begins, and nothing ends,
That is not paid with moan,
For we are born in other’s pain,
And perish in our own.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

“Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty cannot.... How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie is not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? And what can be done with a people who are their own masters if they are not submissive to the Deity?”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
